Bought my first Glock

[ewenit]

I'm the happy new owner of a Gen3 G19 in FDE. I've only had the opportunity to shoot 100 rounds through it. But every single round has been flawless, with the exception of one FTF (my fault, I was holding it like a sissy boy ).

The only real downside was it kept lobbing casings into my eyes (my local Glocksmith took a file to the ejector and said it should help, but I haven't tested it yet)

I'll be doing a more thorough range report in the future if anyone is interested (I have an underway for a few weeks first).

I know I'm not reporting any new or exciting information (and I apologize for that as well as my poor photography), but I just wanted to show off my new carry piece.

Congrats on your first Glock! My first Glock is a G35, however; if I had to do it all over again I would've got a Glock 17 or Glock 19.

I wouldn't call that flawless then, lol. Please let us know if the filing helped your gun though... we all will be interested.

If your gunsmith didn't file down the number stamp on your ejector, check and see if it reads "336". If it does, then that's your problem. There's a newer updated ejector from Glock that was put out to solve this issue and any certified Glock armorer can get one for you.

Welcome to the "My Glock doesn't run club."

Angling the ejector does help (some), but the root of the problem is the extractor and there really is no way to fix it (currently). Apex Tactical has a new extractor coming out that should offer better extraction and fix the brass to the face problem.

He has the newest Glock (as it is an FDE) and NO, the "latest" parts are not solving all the issues (as witnessed by the OP's post).

Thanks Grant, I almost spewed coffee all over my keyboard

Thanks Grant, I almost spewed coffee all over my keyboard

Glad I could help.


What is really funny to me, is that I watch students get whacked in the face with their brass and then ask them how their Glock is running and they tell me; "Runs great! No issues!"

I guess if that part of it doesn't matter to them, then it's not an issue, but they probably just don't know that it shouldn't be like that...

are people still in the dark about the Glock issues?
